Design News: CAD Resurgence Fueled by Technology

By Admin | Published: Dec 29, 2011

“This younger, more skilled, and more mobile workforce is demanding tools that work the way they do,” Maher says. “One of the biggest, most profound shifts we’re seeing is that the data is traveling with workers to the field, the shop floor, the construction site, etc. That’s long been an ambition — now it’s a […]

Design News: Slideshow- CAE Goes Mainstream

By Admin | Published: Nov 17, 2011

“Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) have traditionally been the domain of specialists. However, recent advances have radically changed who is diving into simulation and analysis work. It’s not necessarily that the science behind fluid dynamics or structural integrity has become easier. It’s more that such computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools have become […]

Design News: Design Tools Get the Human Touch

By Admin | Published: Sep 16, 2011

“PTC has shown off an early version running on the iPad that sports a “shake and break” interface, exploding a 3D model into separate parts and pulling it back together when shaken. Beyond the “wow factor” of that particular demo, the real significance is what’s possible with a new navigation paradigm to explore models or […]

Design News: PTC Adds 2D Sketch Tool to Creo Lineup

By Admin | Published: Aug 11, 2011

“Creo Sketch’s appeal is for users in the front end of the design process, and it is more likely to be used in conjunction with PTC’s full Creo Apps lineup than as a standalone sketch tool. Creo Sketch is being positioned to enable anyone in the development process (not just a CAD user) to participate […]

Design News: PTC’s Direct Modeling Strategy

By Admin | Published: Aug 4, 2011

“What’s important about this 18.0 release is that we’ve made tighter integration for our legacy customers so they can continue using the core engineering system, but still benefit from the other Creo Apps, like advanced FEA tools,” says Teague. “Data can now move back and forth … and we’re creating a process that enables both […]

Design News: Putting a New Face on CAD Interoperability

By Admin | Published: Jul 18, 2011

“New visualization and collaboration tools that foster the exchange of lightweight models (meaning 3D geometry without all the design intelligence) have been instrumental in helping companies better exchange multi-CAD data without the hangover of traditional platforms. In addition, new technologies advancing the concept of direct modeling, along with reorienting design workflows so that only critical […]
